: Thanks guys,
: It seems to be a pretty minor point as to which I use. It will be stretched
: over a wire mesh frame so there are lots of opportunities to sew it on
: without a lot of stress. I might as well try the poly as I have never used
: it before. An educational experience. It will get coated, so the loose
: weave is not that much of an issue once it gets coated. The Wee Lassie
: that will be built this winter as well will still be what I know best,
: nylon.
: I tried to post this on qajaqusa and it has not made it there, apparently too
: off topic. Nice to see them try to get rid of the spam.

Hi Scott,
Either will work but if it gets slack, it could shred itself in windy conditions.
